Pace yourself, but focus on mechanics first, then building something simple, yet aesthetically pleasing. Relax and work on something you would want to play.
that's the problem. There aren't any mechanics I need to add. this game is just a simple visual novel game so there aren't any real mechanics other than pressing space bar to go through bits of dialogue and the occasional choices, so much of what I have to do is art, which takes a lot of time.
